From what I remember, Josune Bereziartu send two V15s (and I hope we can dispense with the traverse vs. non-traverse grading argument). Why are we so quick to dispense with the accomplishments of Josune, who was the equivalent of a female Adam Ondra, standing head and shoulders above any female climber then or now (she also climbed 2 or perhaps 3 5.14ds as well, and was (I think) the first female to climb .14b, .14c, and .14d)? I am curious why the media is hyping Ashima as the most accomplished female climber ever. Is there something I am missing? Perhaps the good folks at Gripped can shed some light on what seems to be an intentional slight.
